...great power. Ten years ago, Russia was in a state of disarray reminiscent of the early 17th century "Time of Troubles." Putin's predecessor, Boris Yeltsin, was like a caricature of the disastrous Czar Boris Godunov, on whose watch Russia suffered hunger and humiliation. Plagued by heart trouble and alcohol abuse, Yeltsin had secured re-election in 1996 only by turning the privatization of the Russian energy sector into a sleazy scam, trading oil and gas fields for campaign contributions. Meanwhile, ordinary Russians had to endure rampant inflation and unemployment. Small wonder Russia's geopolitical standing seemed to crumble during...
...Despite constant repetition of the mantra “Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark scam,” we spent the day in secret, inconsolable inner turmoil. Now that the weekend is here, we can finally take advantage of that tried and true emotional balm: alcohol.

On his final Al Franken Show, he announced that he is running to reclaim the seat that Sen. Paul Wellstone lost when he, his wife and daughter were killed in a plane crash two weeks before the 2002 election, and which was won by Republican Norm Coleman. The New York City...
...salsa. Unfortunately, it’s not much else. The UC’s actions are well intentioned, but will be ineffective, and the grant increase should live no longer than its approved three-week trial period. There’s just no getting around the fact that an alcohol-free party in a freshman dorm room will never be that great, no matter how much Diet Coke is on hand. For better or for worse, few college students are hankering to spend their Saturday nights stuck in the Yard’s dry confines. For those who do, it?...
